Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the grammatical tense of a textual mention of an event (ISO-TimeML EVENT @tense) when annotating natural-language text for interoperability.

Avoid when

• Avoid inferring it from, or using it to infer, the event's actual gmeow:eventTime / eventInterval — tense is a linguistic-realization facet, orthogonal to temporal placement.

How to use

• Point the gmeow:Event at one gmeow:GrammaticalTense value via gmeow:eventTense; keep it confined to the annotation layer.

Examples

• ex:event42 gmeow:eventTense gmeow:tensePast.
